What Is A Short Sale?
A short sale is a sale of real estate in which the sale proceeds fall short of the balance owed on the property’s loan. Short Sale often occurs when a borrower wants out of the mortgage loan on their property and the lender decides that selling the property at a moderate loss is better than pressing the borrower. Both parties usually consent to the short sale process because it allows them to avoid foreclosure. Foreclosure involves hefty fees for the bank and lowered credit report outcomes for the borrowers so a short sale is often a win-win for the bank and the home owner. The Lockwood Portland Real Estate Team will negotiate your Portland short sale and help stop foreclosure.

Portland Short Sale Process
In a short sale, the bank or mortgage lender agrees to discount a loan balance of the borrower. The home owner/debtor sells the mortgaged property for less than the outstanding balance of the loan, and turns over the proceeds of the sale to the lender. Neither side is “doing the other a favor;” a short sale is simply the most economical solution to a problem. With a short sale banks will incur a smaller financial loss than would result from foreclosure or continued non-payment. Borrowers are able to mitigate damage to their credit history. A Portland short sale is typically faster and less expensive than a foreclosure. For many Oregon Home Owners a short sale extinguishes the remaining mortgage balance through settlement clearly indicated on a Short Sale Approval Letter. This is one more reason why you want a Portland Short Sale Specialist negotiating your transaction.
Lenders often have loss mitigation departments that evaluate potential short sale transactions. The majority have pre-determined criteria for such transactions but they may be open to offers and their willingness to be flexible on price varies. A bank will typically determine the amount of equity (or lack thereof), by determining the probable selling price from an appraisal or Broker Price Opinion (abbreviated BPO or BOV).
Given the unprecedented and overwhelming number of losses that mortgage lenders have experienced from the foreclosure crisis, many banks are now more willing to accept short sales than ever before. This presents an opportunity for “under-water” borrowers who owe more on their mortgage than their property is worth and are having trouble selling to avoid foreclosure as a result.
